He picked it up and gave it to her. This
time she looked at it and said:
"Oh, yes How could this have got lost

family who married cousin of mine Those

cidental death of his bride in two days and Of

Raymond breathed again. This seemed
a reasonable story, and if it were a true one
all his suspicious fell to the ground. He took
the photograph from her hand, which still
trembled, and placed it In an album. As he
did so, he remarked

When RAYMOND had gone, Julia sat for
hours with her eyes fixed upon the album.
The portrait seemed to draw her invincibly,
and at last she rose and, apparently thinking
with its destruction she could chase away the
ghostly thoughts that crowded in her mind,
she removed it and burned it to cinders, which
she scattered to the four winds.

Fifteenth Century Poison Makers

The number of poison makers must
have been considerable. We came across
"Quelli dial venen," who lived on the Lago
di Garda; the famous poison brewers, Pc
ter Paul, of Padua; Master John and
Master Michele, of Vicenza, and sNostro
fidel Vilandrino," custodian of the garden
of simples at Padua. The poisons which
these masters made were of two kinds
slow poisons C'Veneni q tempo'D and
rapid poisons, and the manner of admin
istering them was various. The method
most frequently in use was either poisoned
meat or poisoned drink, and we have seen
proof made of the "Venenum edible" and
of tho 'Eenenum potable" upon two pigs
in the presence of the Ten. There were
other modes of poisoning, however, though
they were less commonly adopted. We
find instances of that favorite Indian re-
ceipt, pounded diamond. Again in the
year 1855, the French ambassador relates
to the college an attempt on the life of the
king of France by means of poisoned seals,
which had effectually killed three slaves
on whom they had first been tried. And
in 1899 Caterina SforZa, mistress of Forli,
which city Cesare Borgia threatened to
take from her, attempted to poison Alex
ander VI by means of credentials which
her ambassador brought to his holiness
wrapped in scarlet cloth and placed inside
q hollow cane that they may not kill the
bearers.
These are cases Of poisoning by touch.
We hear also Of proposals to poison by
smell; of little balls to be dropped on
fire, and presently they will kill all who
arc in the room. Nothing strikes us as
stranger about these poisons than their in
efficacy. In the year 1914 we find Villain
drino, one of the most famous masters in
hts day, sent for and told that, as the fire
at the palace had destroyed the poison,
cupboard and it's receipts, he must furnish
some two or three more, and must send in
tho receipts along with his new poisons.
Vilandrino produced q poisoned water;
but when this came to he tried on GER
tain Mustafa, he was none the worse for
it. The Ten ordered second dose; and
after waiting eight days with no more
satisfactory results they conclude in dis
gust that Vilandrino's water is worth
nothing, and send him back to Padua.-

A Canine Di,patch Bearer.

In 1874 or 1876 detail of soldiers, to be
gone several days, was sent from Fort
Sill, Indian territory, down the Cache
creek, to cut timber for some building
purposes. The party was the next day
Jumped on by Kiowa and Comanche In
dams, and completely surrounded. After
several charges the Indians gave the SOL
diers more rest, but kept them so close
that nobody dared to steal through to
bring help from Fort Sill, and so matters
stood for several days. AS is usually the
case in those kinds of expeditions, there
were several dogs with the party, mostly
of the "yaller cur" kind. One of the SOL
diers had the idea of fastening q tin can,
with a message by the officer in charge,
telling how matters stood, to the tail Of
one of the dogs and chasing him home.
This was done in the evening, and as the
dog neared the Indians they fired at him,
but seeing the tin can pounding the air, they
thought it great fun, and yelled and chased
the poor dog still faster. The animal
arrived at the fort nearly dead, and went
| to the company quarters. Luckily kind
hearted soldier tried to relieve the brute.
In so doing he noticed the slip of paper in
the tin can, and raised the alarm. In q
short time the commanding officer was
| notified, and several companies On horse
back went to the rescue of the belcagUered
party. The Indians saw them coming,
and fed. Further details of that fight
and rescue, which is highly interesting,
are told in report to the headquarters,
| department of the Missouri, Gen. John
Pope being then in command.
At that time / was chief draughtsman
| and assistant to the chief engineer of the
| department. This case was much talked
| Of but it was recommended to carry the
dispatch on the dogs neck, and the tin
can OIL the tail for motive power only
